As sports begin to return after more than three months off due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, negotiations between Major League Baseball and its Players Association have been anything but smooth.
The two sides have been going back and forth for weeks without being able to come to an agreement, mostly on financial matters, and now the potential for a July 4 Opening Day has come and gone.
MLB reportedly sent its latest proposal to the MLBPA on Monday morning, and it included a 76-game season with players earning 50% of their prorated salaries with a chance for that number to jump up to 75% if there is no second wave of the coronavirus that would prevent the entire postseason from being played.
